Campaign Spotlight: All of us
TCCN is excited to announce a new partnership with FiftyForward, a long-standing non-profit that serves those 50+ in Middle Tennessee. Along with their seven centers and supportive care programs, FiftyForward is also a National Community Engagement Partner with a new health initiative from the National Institutes of Health called the All of Us Research Program. All of Us seeks to increase precision medicine and help speed up medical advances by including underrepresented populations in biomedical research. Specifically, the program is looking for one million people living in the U.S. to volunteer and share their health information. So far, close to 600,000 have joined so far, with 80% coming from those underrepresented, which includes older adults and those living in rural communities.
TCCN will be helping to amplify FiftyForward’s outreach efforts, especially to those living in rural communities, to inform them about this unique opportunity. All of Us materials and posters are available for clinics that are interested.
